Tue, 01 Mar 2011 17:01:57 +0000http://127.0.0.1/wordpress12/?p=5576#comment-19872It is the other way around: As charging stations become available, electric cars will become practical, and popular – then; even more popular when the majority of people discover that they really accelerate waaaaayyyy faster than gas driven cars (most Prius owners have already discovered this about electric motors – Prius cars usually go slow because most people buy them to save gas, but when you need to go – they move – fast). We have a Prius because it runs on gas mainly and we can easily refuel in about 2 or 3 minutes because there are gas stations all over the place. I resist buying an all electric car because long trips are impossible – its too easy to get stranded. Imagine charging stations running on solar power, or even replaceable battery packs. Don’t say it can’t be done – or it won’t. As charging stations or battery packs become accessible, then electric cars will take off like no one ever imagined – in more ways than one.

Tue, 18 May 2010 20:46:42 +0000http://127.0.0.1/wordpress12/?p=5576#comment-19870I really have a question to ask: Of those 42 million toy Hummers, which of those toys were given away WITHOUT THE PARENT’S PERMISSION???? Of those 42 million toy Hummers, there’s usually about 42 million other optional toys as well, at any given time. The customers had the option of not buying their children such “irresponsible” toys. It’s really funny that this is complained about. Many of these nay-sayers either drive a gas-consuming vehicle or got a toy car or truck at one time or another in their youth.

While in theory yes all of those technologies are available, do have any idea the effort that would be involved in retrofitting all of the vehicles on the road today. Even if you leave out all things cars and just stick to heavy trucks you’re still talking about roughly 2 and a half million. Now factor in the fact that every make and model will be unique and must have their axle retrofitted in a different way. Now you also have to account for space to add the battery packs. On vehicles that large you’d need a monstrous battery pack and a huge electric motor. That adds more weight to already heavy vehicles so they now will have to have new shocks and dampers put on to compensate for this. Already just from these two and a half million trucks you’re talking about a massive amount of work not to mention how much this will cost. You’ll never recoup you costs through fuel savings on retrofits like that. And since that whole industry is based on maximum profit and minimum cost, it would never happen. Same thing goes for SUV’s and Dualies. There are over 100 million of those. Again unique retrofitting for each make and model, unique battery placement, and all new shocks and dampers. Say for arguments sake you could pull this off for on average 20,000 dollars a car. No one I know has $20,000 to completely change their car. It’s just not gonna happen

btw $20,000 would be a miracle. it’d prolly average more around $50,000 oh and not mention that the computer code to control all this in the car would have to be tailored to each car too.
